'Where shall I sleep with my disabled daughters and sons?' Residents of houses destroyed by Israel say they were given only a 15-minute warning to flee, as Palestinian death toll in Gaza soars to 24 with 215 wounded
"We took nothing away with us... it is unjust," says Nadia Shamalakh, a Palestinian woman who cares for four disabled sons and daughters, as Israeli bombardment lays waste to properties in Palestine's Gaza enclave.
"What can we do with 15 minutes?" said 68-year-old Nadia Shamalakh, who cares for four disabled sons and daughters in the Israel-blockaded enclave.Israeli says it is targeting weapon depots and resistance fighters of Islamic Jihad in Gaza. Palestinian Health Authorities say "Israeli aggression" has so far killed 24 Palestinians, including six children, and wounded 215 others.
"I fell to the ground three times because I had undergone surgery on my leg, while others helped my children in wheelchairs to move away," Shamalakh said, as she sat on a pile of rubble next to where her home had stood. Shamalakh says her one-storey house was destroyed when an Israeli air strike hit a building next door belonging to a relative, who was warned to clear their house and to tell their neighbours to do the same. Strikes have continued since Friday, leaving smoke and dust clouds from the destroyed buildings drifting across the Gaza skyline. Islamic Jihad fighters fired volleys of rockets into Israel in response.
